Tagliatelle with butternut & blue cheese

Robust Pasta

I had not had pasta in a very long time and I wanted my first pasta dish of the year to be a Nigella recipe. Nigella’s pasta meals are wholesome, delicious and clever enough to share with guests. It is all about balance with this dish, so keep tasting as it includes blue cheese which is extremely strong. Also there is no heavy sauce so the seasoning must be added carefully. The addition of pine nuts was a very nice addition, the only thing I changed was adding fresh basil and dried sage rather than fresh sage. I think the dish was sophisticated but simple and easy enough for a weekday meal.

This recipe was taken from Nigella Lawson’s Nigella Kitchen: Recipes from the heart of the home (Chatto & Windus, 2014).
